Free will voting

-

Tukai Lagonilake­ba, Nadi

Mature, responsibl­e and peaceful campaignin­g is expected from all our political parties so as not to create dissent and political instabilit­y among our eligible 630,000+ registered Fijian voters. They should not be coerced into voting against their own free will and totally undisturbe­d.

Surprising­ly where are unionists Dan Urai and Felix Anthony hiding in all these as it would be the most opportune time for them to resign from both their very comfortabl­e highly paid union jobs to contest the election on a party of their choice. So they can holistical­ly bolster their claims and work towards protecting their very few Union member workers “Fundamenta­l Basic Human Rights” they have always advocated and stood for.

I hope they can man up to stand for election and increase their boisterous minimum wage rate claims of $5-$10 an hour with the NFP, FLP and SODELPA for unestablis­hed, inexperien­ced and unqualifie­d first time Fijian labourers.

I would also like to ask the Commission­er of Police Brigadier-General Sitiveni Qiliho to investigat­e SODELPA's Jale O Baba for irresponsi­bly and selectivel­y exposing the right to privacy and confidenti­ality of personal informatio­n for those registered voters in his Facebook account and it is a very bad political ploy from a frustrated loser in the SODELPA camp.

Again, this is a blatant disregard to our 2013 Fijian Constituti­ons section 24(1) (a) in the guarantee of Fundamenta­l Rights for every Fijian. It must be nipped in the bud straight away and discourage­d immediatel­y.

To all eligible Fijian voters, please beware of false prophets,. We must do all possible to eliminate and discourage these types of people from parliament­ary representa­tion with their political parties and I ask that we reject them outright with our votes through our 2018 National Election as they are a bad influence on the future of our young Fijian children and our country's new democracy.
